What is new
What are the latest trends in home security?
Home security keeps changing. Three developments worth knowing about:
Smart home integration
Security is part of a connected home now: lights and locks can be run from your phone alongside cameras and alarms.
Wireless technology
Less cabling makes some installs cleaner and less invasive, and makes the system easier to grow as your needs change.
HD cameras and better sensors
High-definition cameras make faces easier to identify, and better motion sensors improve protection.
DIY or professional
Should you install a security system yourself?
DIY systems look appealing because they cost less up front and seem easy to set up. They often fall short on coverage and long-term reliability. A professional install gives you:
- An expert assessment of the property to find weak points and place sensors and cameras where they count.
- A tailored design built around your home's layout and security needs.
- Ongoing support and maintenance so the system keeps working.
Any hardwired work, new circuits or power to equipment must be done by a licensed electrician in Queensland.
